A journey through the history of our organization takes you past tales of self-reliance, determination, grit and hard work. Be it the individuals working to create a space in this maze of the digital age or the ones working from their humble homes. This journey of these individuals is the storied tale of Kreate. Our journey began on a steamy and hot day, as our founder Vittal Ramakrishna was on a road trip through the heartland of Karnataka. On this solo trip, he observed the plethora of talent and skill among the various people groups he encountered. He also observed the lack of marketing of these products and skills, and thought to find a solution for that. The need of the hour was to create a space for skillful artisans and home-based workers to market their products and sell homemade products online. Thus began Kreate.
Starting from a small but determined team to create an e-commerce platform for these artists, Kreate began its pitch by finding these artists and creators from the rural lands of India and convincing them of the need of the hour. Kreate began as a website for sellers to pitch their products to buyers, advertising the relevance of the art and its application in their daily life. While we could never tap the depths of the Indian master craftsmanship, we soon began reaching out to artists across the land and put our best foot forward in bringing the world of artisans closer, with each click of a button. Organizations and groups that work tirelessly, to bring closer a socially-conscious cause of empowerment with underrepresented people groups, are a proud part of this drive. Kalamkari art and organically and sustainably sourced honey found themselves under a single roof catering to the vast market that sought our products. The Indian connection with craftsmanship can be traced to its ancient heritage, from the earliest proof of civilisation being associated with the fragments of pottery and handmade toys scattered across the excavation sites. These fragments detail a story of a rich heritage that showcase the advanced techniques and skills of our ancestors. These skills and life lessons passed down through the generations and have evolved into the modern-day traditions of millions across the land.
